Isaac | Fantasy Life (3DS)

IsaacOur Master is called the Fisherman Sage, which is a pretty fancy name, don't you think? But he's earned it with all the fishcentric wisdom he's gained over the years!

IsaacWhether I'm asleep or awake, I'm always dreaming about fishing. I'm hooked as hooked gets!

IsaacSeems like you've got a real knack for fishing, [Player]. You know what? I'll treat you to one of my specialties! You can't fish on an empty stomach, after all.

IsaacI'm happy you've joined our little crew. The more the merrier!

IsaacGuess what the most precious fish in Castele is! Think it's the Applefish? No way. That's a rare fish, but it's common compared to THE rarest fish hereabouts. It's the Ornamental Carp, and it appears every now and then near the waterfall in West Castele. That carp fetches a high price. Try to catch one as you pass that waterfall, if you haven't already!

IsaacThe Ornamental Carp is so pretty, people like to keep it in garden ponds and show it off. Grandpa likes to eat them, but I bet it doesn't taste half as good as it looks.

IsaacHa! If you're at Apprentice rank, you're ready to learn a great technique! Ugh, the name slips my mind, but it's the one where you hold down the X Button... and then release it at just the right moment to jerk on the fishing line. Oh! I remember the name! Quick Pull! It's a big technique that Port Puerto's Anglers use. Wow, do I ever wish I could go visit Port Puerto. Best place anywhere for Anglers!

IsaacI use Quick Pull near the end, when the fish is getting worn down but has a ways to go. That's the technique all the pros who belong to the Anglers' Association use. Hey, have you seen our special fishing flag? It's proof that Grandpa is a member of the association! I hope I get one of those someday.

IsaacNice! You're at the Adept rank. You've got great fishing technique, you know that? Hey, I'd love to go on fishing trips with you. Let's team up sometime, OK?

IsaacDid you know I can use a fishing rod like a weapon? Flick, flick—FLICK! I really shouldn't do it, because I might accidentally break my fishing rod. But sometimes you just gotta!

IsaacI really shouldn't ever use my fishing rod as a weapon. But I mean, I was once on a dock... and a monster sneaked up on me, so I had to do something. Can't blame a guy for defending himself!

IsaacWow, didn't take you long to rank up to Expert at all. So I guess it's time to teach you THAT. You know, THAT? It's a technique that requires a lot of concentration. This one's called Focused Pull. It's like Quick Pull—but it really packs a punch. Takes up a lot of SP too, though. I bet it'd be perfect for getting the best of a powerful fish like the Coldwater Tuna!

IsaacThat Focused Pull technique uses a lot of SP, so it's good to carry some refreshments with you. I wouldn't think of going fishing without a few bottles of Apple Juice on hand.

IsaacYou're a Master now, just like my grandpa! Congratulations. So...I had this gift made for you, since I knew you'd be ranking up soon. I hope you like it.

IsaacTraveling around the world sounds like fun, and I'd like to go with you now and then... but sometimes I also like to stay here and take care of Grandpa. Who'd he talk to otherwise? Besides, having some time here lets me work on perfecting my fishing technique!

IsaacHas Grandpa ever told you about Terra Nimbus? I've dreamed of visiting it ever since I was a kid. There are all sorts of fish in the clouds: High-Flying Fish...Sky Sardines...Floaty Puffer Fish... Just imagine what you can pull out of the fishing spots in Terra Nimbus. It sounds amazing.

IsaacJust imagine... The High-Flying Fish, Sky Sardines, the Floaty Puffer Fish. Terra Nimbus must be great! Those fish sound like something from a dream. I hope you get to see them!

IsaacA Legend? I always knew you'd do it. Wow. Nothing I catch can compare to what you get. Well, except for someone I fished out of the water the other day. Guess who...? It was my grandpa! He fell right in—wasn't even fishing at the time. So I hooked him on the line! Spread the word! You're a Legendary Angler, and I'm the Angler Who Caught the Fisherman Sage!

IsaacMy grandpa loves hearing about other Anglers' expeditions, so don't be a stranger. I always like to see what you've been catching too!

IsaacHey, how's it going? Been to some good fishing spots? I love to chat about this stuff. Doesn't matter to me that you're growing lots faster as an Angler than I am. We both love the Angler's Life, and that's the important thing. Also, take this—and the best of luck to you!

IsaacThe Angler's Life is a curious one. You travel a lot. You stay still. There's quiet...then lots of splashing. Ha! Listen to me, starting to sound all sage and philosophical-like just like my grandpa. Makes sense, I guess, since my favorite place to fish is right next to him. Guess his talk rubbed off on me.

IsaacCreator rank? You seriously made Creator rank? That makes YOU the biggest fish of all! You're going to be the talk of the Bean Toe Squad. Those cats love you!

IsaacAnytime you need to take a load off your feet, you're always welcome to rest up here with us. It'll just be me and Grandpa, fishing away. Hey! The three of us—it's like we're an Angler family!
